1t will be remembered that the
published letters Of Il. S. Montgomery
foreman Of the Long Island Inter-O-
cean promised the various candidates
that if they would put up certain slip
ulated sums Of money, he (Montgom-
ery) would make that paper their es-
Pecial organ. If they did not come
down with the required cash, the paper
would oppose them of course. Mr..
Weed endorsed the acton of his fore
man in taking that method to 'bor-
row" money, and calls it a legitimate
transaction, and abuses the county Off
GERS for exposing such political methods.

Prevalence of Perjury In Wales,

At Bangor County Court the Judge,
during the hearing of an action, said:
II must observe that there is hardly a
single case heard in this court in which
there is not deliberate perjury COM
mitted. Look at the last case-look at
this frightful lying. I do not meet
with such state of things out of Wales.
Other people have said this thing be-
fore, but hithsrto I have kept quiet.
"During my whole life I have heard
nothing to approach what it is in this
part Of the world. There is not case
heard in which people do not think it
necessary to lie. It is most demoraliz-
ing. do not think it is in human ma
ture to stand many years OF it. I.have
had my turn of it. Iappeal to every
disinterested person to give his opinion
as to what the future of the country
is, I can try in Cheshire ten cases while
| try one here, because in Cheshire they
do not lie

A Sea-Gull Perched on q Coffin.

A tragic scene occurred on board the
steamship Republic on her last trip to
this port. When four days out from
Queen stown Miss T. Hand, of 1874 East
Thirty-fourth street, died within half
an hour after the services of the ship
doctor were called in. The young lady
left here on the 18th of July last, under
the advice Of her physician, to recruit
her failing health. Every preparation
was made to bury the body at sea-.
The last rites of the Church had been
said and administered. Rough and
yet kindly hands were ready to con-
sign the body to the deep, when sud-
denly Miss M. Ward threw herself on
the corpse and begged piteously that
the remains should be brought to New
York for interment. At the interces-
sion of two priests the remains were
incased in a metallic casket, which was
placed on deck. Within an hour a
strange incident occurred. A sea-gull
perched upon the casket, and, strange
to say, remained there until it was
caught. After some nursing and be-
ing we'll fed the bird was offered its
liberty, but refused to leave. It was
brought into port, and is now pet on
board. ::

"A Nevada Snake Story.

A lady in Coryville had for some
time been missing her small chickens.
One evening last week she went into
the chicken house, and, noticing a
movement under one of the stills, made
a search, which ended in the discovery
of snake, about three feet long, which
had probably been hiding there for a
long time, living on young chickens.
Its head was about three inches broad
and it's body averaged four inches.
The species is the common bull snake.
1t had accumulated flesh on it's sides to
such an extent that nearly all resem-
blance to it's kind was gone. The con-
fined space which it occupied kept it
from growing other than sideways, and
it resembles very much a section OF
wagon tire in shape. 49, .s-- .rre,

A Reminiscence OF Bob Toombs.


n Perhaps fine story of Toombs may
not be uninteresting. He was in the
senate during the bitter slavery debates,
when Seward was wont to deliver his
concillatory speeches. These gener-
ally called out vehement and insult
ing reply from the southern members,
which was peculiarly exasperating to
the senators from the north. One day
an after incident of this kind, in which
Toombs had made vituperative an
swer to Seward, Senator Zach Chan
dler said to Senator Simon Cameron:
This is going too far. Let us put a
stop to it. Some of us should insult
him. ..z.. i
Gall right replied Cameron. II
sit nearest to Toombs. I'll do it. :
''As soon as the Georgian had finish
ed Cameron walked over to him, ran
his arm through his, and said: III
''Toombs why don ty GU talk to mt
as you do to Seward?'' ,s;-..- -s -ss
''Toombs looked at him for mo-
ment, and then, with laugh replied
swell, Cameron, to tell the truth
about if, believe you'd fight.''
In his latter days the custom of ex-
travagant yituperation grew upon
Toombs. He was merely the sound of
his former self. Vehemence came from
habit rather than from force, and he
was in no sense the man he had form
erly been. He was the aged giant in
the cave of bones. who could only
gnash his teeth at the passer by. Ye
he always possessed many kindl
traits. .''-'- =

Missionary Chimes.

A Sunday school teacher asked her schol-
ars to each learn verse to recite when they
dropped in their pennies at the next mis-
sionary meeting, appropriate for the oc-
casion. .--
They all came prepared the next Sabbath,
and the first little fellow as he dropped in
his offering, said, BLESSED is he that con-
sidereth the poor"
The second repeated, Gle that giveth to
the poor lendeth to the Lord''
The teacher was delighted, and as the
third, very little boy, went forward, she
whispered in his ear, CHOW speak out loudly

in the box, lisped, .'The fool and hith money

costume indicating that the wearer hasnot

her loneliness is as apparent by daylight as
